在这个地球上,最关心国家大事的,恐怕莫过于中国的老百姓。人大、政协“两会”期间,街谈巷议,到处可以听到对“两会”的议论话题。偶闻两位退休职工的对话。一个年纪稍长的退休女工说:“这次代表们在电视上说的,都是怎么增加农民收入和改善老百姓生活的事,这才是人民代表呢!”另一位男士大概是文化人说:“民生为本,这就对了嘛!”好一个“民生为本”!通观朱镕基总理的《政府工作报告》,关注人民生活特别是低收入城乡人民的生活,确实是一个鲜明的主题。每年政府工作报告都要说到提高人民生活水平问题,但是把人民生活问题作为政府工作报告的头等重要议题和国家宏观经济政策的总枢纽,建国以来恐怕是第一次。总理谈到当前经济社会生活中存在的问题时,首先提到农民收入增长缓慢,一些粮食主产区和严重受灾地方农民收入减少,有些地方拖欠工资严重,部分企业生产和职工生活仍有困难,就业压力加大。 On this earth, people who are most concerned about the affairs of their country are probably more than ordinary people in China. People’s Congress, CPPCC “two sessions ” period, the streets talk about everywhere you can hear the discussion of “two sessions ” topic. I heard two retired workers dialogue. A slightly older retired woman worker said: “What the representatives said on television these days are all ways to increase peasants’ incomes and improve the lives of ordinary people. This is the people’s representative.” Another man is probably a culture People say: “People’s livelihood, which is right!” “One”, “people’s livelihood-based”! Through the Premier Zhu Rongji’s “Report on the Work of the Government”, concerned about the people’s lives, especially low-income urban and rural people’s lives, indeed Is a distinct theme. Every year, the government work report refers to the issue of raising the living standards of the people. However, taking the people’s livelihood issue as the top priority issue for government work reports and the general hub of the country’s macroeconomic policies is the first time since the founding of the People’s Republic. When talking about the existing problems in economic and social life, the Prime Minister first mentioned the slow growth of peasants’ incomes, the decrease of incomes of some major grain-producing areas and those farmers in serious tragedies, the serious arrears of wages in some places, the difficulties of production and employees in some enterprises, Employment pressure increased.
